About the Bugaboo Bee pushchair
The latest model in the Bugaboo Bee range is the brilliant Bugaboo Bee 6 pushchair. The Bee 6 is the ultimate urban pushchair, and just like precious Bee models, it offers the same expected Bugaboo quality and compact design. This innovative pushchair offers the best of both worlds, true comfort that’s still strong and sturdy whilst being compact and easy to use.
The new urban pushchair offers you full versatility for the different stages of your child’s growth. You can simply start using it from day one by placing the seat into the lie-flat position or pair it with the Bugaboo Bee carrycot or baby cocoon for extra comfort for your newborn. When your child can sit upright and independently, you can easily move them to the upright seat position to discover the world from a whole different angle. It also includes a new sun canopy design and a new rotating bumper bar for added protection.
The Bugaboo Bee 6 (also available in stunning lemon and black) is compact and light, making it perfect for navigating through the city and getting in and out of public transportation. You can operate it and fold it with one hand – while safely holding your baby close to you – to easily carry up and down the stairs or store it at home or on the go. When folded into one piece, it can stand on its own thanks to the integrated self-stand. This means lightweight city comfort, convenient storage, and easy lifting and carrying wherever you go.
The independent 4-wheel suspension in this pushchair comes with a high-quality damping mechanism, offering extra shock absorption for bump-free rides. The Bugaboo Bee 6 offers top comfort, whether your child is taking a nap on the go or sitting and exploring the world. The new 7-inch puncture-proof wheels offer extra stability on the road, for climbing up curbs, or for fun adventures off the beaten path.
